Abstract

MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical systems) cantilever sensor is designed which is used in food processing industry to detect toxic substances or bacteria present in the food which is packed. In this paper, MEMS cantilever sensor of dimensions 400 µm ×50 µm ×1µm is designed to detect the presence of bacteria in food obtained from cattle by using MZN (metronoidazole) molecules. The MEMS cantilever sensor designed by using the software INTELLISUITE version 8.7 and also the MEMS cantilever is designed with different sensing materials. The cantilever sensitivity is found for different sensing layer in order to find good sensor.
